This week on Cruise Control, we discuss Petronas’ new efficient Pro-Drive fuel, the transport minister’s declare on no more discounts for car offences, and the dispute among the German lawmakers and government on lowering local highway emissions. We then end the show with a review on the Volvo S60 T38 Polestar, a super-charged performance car on the pricey side locally, but a bang for the buck in terms of specs and engine.
